Having trouble connecting my community service work with majoring in accounting

1 Upvotes

I’m currently trying to write an essay to be in the Honors program at the University I’ll be attending next year. For the essay the topic is: “Please describe an academic or community service experience that has been meaningful to you. What did you learn from this experience, and how do you envision continuing this engagement in the UAB Honors College?" I’ve volunteered at a Sunday school for 3 years now and this is my first year teaching students in my own classroom. I teach them their islamic studies and how to read Arabic. It’s very difficult to get a first grader to understand that every letter can make 7 different sounds and that the letters do not look the same together so I look for any way to make it easier for them. If you guys have any suggestions on how I could connect things I would appreciate it! I want to get this application done before the end of November.

Ohio State Scholarships with a 1570 SAT

0 Upvotes

I'm an in-state high school senior applying to Ohio State, and I recently scored a 1570 on the SAT.

For a long time now, I've been looking into OSU's merit scholarships, specifically the full-ride opportunities, and I've seen that that the presidential scholarship has a requirement of a 1600 SAT or 36 ACT, so I dedicated all of my time to try and acquire this.

I missed the SAT requirement by 30 points, and I have no other chance before the early action deadline. I was wondering if there's any possibility anyone who doesn't fully meet the expectations receives the scholarship as well. I doubt I would be qualified for any other meaningful scholarship apart from one solely based off of test scores, as I have not been an exceptional student throughout high school and my SAT is by far the strongest part of my application.

I understand my chances are slim, but Ohio State is my dream school, and I am unable to attend without a full or substantial ride, so this scholarship is truly crucial for me.

  1. Has anyone ever received the presidential scholarship without a perfect score?
  2. Is there any possibility and exception will be made if I contact the right people?
  3. Are there alternative scholarships that could give me a substantial money off?

Question about Bold.org

3 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone knew about the upcoming "Bold Points Rewards" redemption feature on Bold.org. At the moment, points can only be converted into money that's used to pay off student debt. I've just noticed that a new feature is listed as "coming soon, " and wanted to ask has anyone else seen this before, and if so , for how long? I'm curious whether it's genuinely new and launching soon or if it has been sitting around on the UI for ages

Finding scholarships as a transfer student in Florida

1 Upvotes

I’m coming up on my second year of my A.S. degree at a local state college. I want to transfer to a university here in Florida, preferably USF. FAFSA’s pell grant is covering my tuition at the state college completely and I just filled out the 2027 form and received a 0 for my SAI. From what I’ve seen, the COA is about 6k per semester, but I don’t think FAFSA will cover this in whole. I’ve been looking into scholarships and grants to apply to but all of them are only 1k each. The only decent scholarship is Bright Futures but that’s only for high school students. How do people afford to transfer to uni?

Dreams state scholarship

11 Upvotes

There is a new, from my understanding, scholarship that required 60 hours of paid or unpaid labor, watching 30 toolkit videos on Gafutures and to be Pell eligible as well. My supporting documentation have been verified and I called both ga futures and my schools financial aid office and gaftures says they have to send something first for like class verification and such manually and from there my school financial aid office will reach out to me about the next steps. My financial aid office response was pretty much wait because it’s a new program. It’s now mid terms and now word yet, anyone else received the scholarship yet?

The Akerson Family Foundation Scholarship is a four-year renewable scholarship worth up to a maximum of $50,000. The scholarship is awarded annually to a select group of first-generation, college-bound seniors who demonstrate strong academic skills, financial need, and community/school engagement.

Do Graduate Schools Consider Competitive Scholarships received when deciding if they will offer you aid?

0 Upvotes

For example I received a full ride to my MPA program at a well known school.

I want to do another masters degree. Should I mention my scholarship on the extra room to talk about oneself or in my essay somewhere?

Curious if it will help me to get any additional funding or not for this new degree which might be at the same or different institution, if at the same institution would be a different school within the university

What are the best resources to check for the available scholarship?

1 Upvotes

For a Senior year student, what are the best resources to check the available scholarships if school counselors are not great at helping in this area?

Also when is the good time to check for scholarships? After the acceptance letter or while waiting? Should we open a separate Bank account for the senior now? Any specific account where is minimum fee?
